Synopsis

A Beautiful Planet is a breathtaking portrait of Earth from space, providing a unique perspective and increased
understanding of our planet and galaxy as never seen before. Made in cooperation with the National Aeronautics and
Space Administration (NASA), the film features stunning footage of our magnificent blue planet — and the effects humanity
has had on it over time — captured by the astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS). From space, Earth blazes
at night with the electric intensity of human expansion — a direct visualization of our changing world. But it is within
our power to protect the planet. As we continue to explore and gain knowledge of our galaxy, we also develop a deeper connection
to the place we all call home. From IMAX Entertainment and Toni Myers — the acclaimed filmmaker behind celebrated IMAX®
documentaries Blue Planet, Hubble 3D, and Space Station 3D — A Beautiful Planet presents an awe-inspiring glimpse of Earth
and a hopeful look into the future of humanity.
